Swanplant flower by kiwinanna

Swanplant flower

I actually have flowers on my swan plant -and very tiny swans. This is a first for me because the Monarch caterpillars usually decimate the plant before this stage. Quite excited really and it brightens up a dismal day of inclement weather.
Love the flowers and you have captured them well ... very late my plants have been stripped... got a few cryslis hanging about ... one very lucky one as picked some parsley last night and went to chop it up and there was a cryslis amongst it ... so its sitting on my window sill .. hope it hatches...I have another stuck to the window glass... so it should be well incubated..

Wow Liana - these are seriously weird flowers. Are they very big?

We have had heaps of swan plants in the past and - never, never have there been flowers! These flowers are like a kiss!

@robz No about the size of a thumbnail.

@julzmaioro I think the plants must be confused although they were completely eaten out in the summer so now they are regrowing without interference. I will have to move the plants under cover before the first frosts I guess.

@maggiemae Thats a lovely description. I have never had much success with swan plants or monarchs hatching out but have great hopes for next season.
